Sfile EDD
Sfile EDD customers save time, money and reduce risk through an integrated evidence archiving, processing, early case assessment and document review system.
PERFORMANCE
Data loading, culling, review, production. Each of these key activities and more must be optimized for performance to prevent bottlenecks from occurring during the E-Discovery process.
Bullet Train Data Processing - Sfile EDD uses a distributed computing architecture that allows multiple servers to work in parallel to extract metadata and content from electronic files, load this information into the database servers and execute indexing.
Frictionless Culling - The distributed server architecture used by Sfile allows for large numbers of users to perform simultaneous searching and analytical analysis without noticeable performance impact.
Accelerated Review - Review is accelerated with Sfile's IdoxTM image-on-the fly viewer which displays native files in TIFF, PDF and XML formats as users move between documents. Idox allows redactions to be performed immediately on the TIFF images without the need to wait for additional conversion.
PRECISION
Searching and culling, review tagging, productions. Each of these key activities and more must be optimized for precision to prevent reviewing too much material, missed items, reviewer efficiency and accurate productions.
Electron Microscope Searching & Culling - Proximity searching, fuzzy searching, Boolean arguments...we have them. What's unique is Sfile's ability to test search results without the need to actually execute the search. Perform ECA analysis without the need for search results to return.
One-to-Many Tag Relationships - Sfile support both non-linear and linear review models. Using Sfile's non-linear review model, instead of assigning tags to documents, users assign documents to tags. Sfile's tagging feature allows documents to have a one-to-many relationship with virtual tags. Tagging can be performed on a single document, groups of documents or in bulk across entire search result sets. To conduct a linear review, document sets can be assigned to individuals or teams of reviewers. Review forms can be quickly configured to execute a more traditional multiple-value review for a single document.
Monitoring the Production Line - With many E-Discovery systems, the legal team does not have the ability to QC productions before they are shipped to other parties. Once Sfile has performed our own QC, legal teams can review their productions prior to shipment. Productions are also stored within Sfile for later access or reuse.
SCALABILITY
Data storage and archiving, data loading, user interaction. Each of these key activities and more must be optimized for scalability to prevent bottlenecks from occurring during the E-Discovery process.
Manage Exponential Volumes of Data – The distributed storage architecture used by Sfile allows for virtually unlimited volumes of data storage without disruption of service.
Allow Legions of Concurrent Users – The distributed server architecture used by Sfile allows for virtually an unlimited number of users without the need for additional servers to be installed and configured. This capability allows Sfile customers to easily scale access for large review teams.
Support a Plethora of Organizations – Sfile’s application security support creating private workspaces for multiple parties to use both a shared repository and a private repository.
SECURITY
Sfile believes that security is the foundation to every aspect of how we manage your data. We apply security best practices from the ground up, and perform due diligence to maintain and update those practices as the threat landscape changes.
Exceptional Encryption - All Sfile customer data within our architecture is protected using AES 256-bit encryption. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government and is the only open cipher approved by the NSA for top secret information. Users connect to Sfile using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), a combination of application level and encrypted network level security designed for secure Internet connectivity.
Ruthless Network Protection - Our data center infrastructure combines proven security technology, best practices and experienced professionals to help ensure network security for Sfile systems. Using traffic profiling and anomaly detection capabilities, we manage and secure our networks, pinpoints and troubleshoot network attacks, monitor our servers and applications, and analyze network security performance issues.
Role-Based Access Control – Sfile’s role-based security model, managed by Microsoft Directory Services, provides access control to collections, functionality, saved searches and a variety of other functions in order to provide the correct level of access and functionality based upon the user’s role. The role-based security model also supports in camera and expert witness access
